TEAM CHALLENGE

Get in the team spirit and swim together for a great cause

Take on Swimathon as a team and split the distance. Swim with your friends or family at one of our 450+ venues between Friday 28 – Sunday 30 March 2025.

Team Challenge Distances

Team Swimathon 1.5k and Team Swimathon 5k

Is the Team Challenge right for us?

  • You’ll need a team of 2-5 swimmers to take on your distance in a relay-style format. Get your friends and family together and have fun! Or join forces with your most competitive swimming club members to set your best time. 

  • Split the distance equally between you, or divide and conquer into manageable lengths, depending on your experience; each team member can do a different distance that suits them. Your individual swimming times will be combined into a total team time. 

  • You’ll be in the water one at a time, tagging the next swimmer into the pool to continue the relay. When you’re not in the water, help to count lengths and cheer each other on!

Benefits of taking on a team challenge

Save on entry fees

Team Entries cost the same as 2 x individual entries, but can consist of 2-5 people.

Team building and bonding

Whether you’re friends, family or part of a swimming club, you can work together towards a shared goal.

Fundraising is fun together

Encourage each other in your training, share photos on social and hold fundraising events to reach your target.

Achievable goals

Splitting the distance means everyone can take part. Family friendly – young swimmers can cover fewer lengths whilst grown-ups swim further.
